don’t rush too much, and triple check everything

encode it in base 64 and type it in

my point is thatfor us techie users (i use arch btw) having choice is good. But for the average user it’s a big negative actually.

The linux ecosystem needs to standardize on more things to also allow linux development to be worthwile for devs.

Choosing one distro is not enough, when it can decide to rip out and replace half of its subsystems at will. The most stable api on linux for games is win32 ffs! I have linux native builds of games that simply don’t run on linux anymore.

offer less choice and have an official version of things.

these types of laws usually come from the most technically illiterate people ever

I was 14 years old, and I got the 128meg stick for free. Beggars can’t be choosers haha

i started using linux on a single core pentium 4 with 384M of ram

where did i say it’s less secure? I said it will be coded around. as in forked and the changes patched out/worked around. The point is that it’s pointless to even try. Because it won’t work for those who do choose to use it, due to all the ones bypassing it

if it’s linux, it has to be open source. If it’s open source, people will code around it immediately. How about not trying to shoehorn this useless crap in the first place?

if only they made the thumbnails just a little bit bigger. My monitor still fits 9 of them, tsk tsk

subtitles have completely stopped working for me :/

had a couple of crashes when 6 was released, but they were fixed pretty quickly and has been rock solid ever since. Those crashes probably had more to do with my nvidia card than kde itself, tbh

re the hate on gnome: extensions are unsupported and can and do break between versions, sometimes intentionasely. The gnome devs would realey really like it if you didn’t use extensions and just admit they know best for you.

i deleted the x session files so they don’t show up in my greeter. They got annoying by now, for me. I used to shit on wayland, but it’s inching closer and closer to being usable. and i use an nvidia gtx 1080, so that’s saying something

they need none of that stuff. It’s your own pc that handles the heavy stuff. From their end, the only point is to allow you to stream videos from behind one or more NATs

only one needs to read the data. Only one needs to write it (the receiver)

if you’re found later with a bunch of pirated material, you’re the one who gets prosecuted, not whoever you dowloaded it from

it’s a digital item. You can only make a copy

you are literally choosing to run the software that writes it to your disk. You also (probably) take steps to ensure the uploader does not have access to your disk. You are in control of what gets saved

when downloading something, you are making a copy. That copy is unauthorized. It’s illegal. The distributor didn’t give it to you, they still have their copy. And you just reproduced it again.
